Proving she hates for no reason.
Proving she hates for no reason.
It's a bigot thing, not a British thing.
The last horcrux was destroyed 🥹
My best friend in the world is trans. There are no words for how much I genuinely hate this woman.
I'll never understand how this bitch got so successful.
She didn’t show her hateful bag side till after her HP series became popular enough that it’s hard to slow down the momentum of it enough to matter. I personally wish her publishers and Warner Bros. would just drop her ass and find something popular enough to take the place of her series.
Amazing that a formerly down on her luck woman came into a massive fortune by essentially writing Star Wars fan fiction, that hit the right demographic at the right time, whose “work” is mostly aimed at young, impressionable minds, is such a hate-filled person who actually seems miserable and lame
Worst Witch, Ursula LeGuin, The Whispering Mountain, so many others. She stole so much she probably thinks she’s Shakespeare reincarnated. 🫤
Yes, basically it's Star Wars.
Well it's the heros journey & it's been told a myriad of ways.
Indeed: The Power of Myth, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I have to wonder how much of her HP creation story, the coffee shop stuff, is just myth she created.
And her writing style deteriorated with each book. I stopped reading at the 4th as the use of adverbs was drowning me in -lys!!
As a German I can understand Mrs Rowling 🤷♂️
The British thing would be to think the sign maker might be a bit mental but carry on. Bit sad she’s so far ‘round the bend, innit?
Well said, I was trying to figure out a way to put this across without social media having a meltdown at me and calling me names.
I tried so hard to understand her side of things in the beginning, but in the end realized she’s just a twat.
Same. I didn't want to believe she was such an asshole, but she has shown me who she is.
Actually, it’s not a British thing. She’s just nasty for the sake of it now.
I regret every penny I spent making this person wealthy. Proving one can say or write anything. Even empowering things. But actions tell the truth!!
We didnt know at the time that SHE WAS ACTUALLY VOLDEMORT... It breaks my heart.
Moldemort. IYKYK.
We should have seen it coming. Dumbledore enslaved house elves.
Funny!
Rowldemort.
I don't regret spending money on joy and entertainment. If I held every artist to the same standard, I'd have no art left to enjoy. Creatives are eccentric, weird,odd, and yes, sometimes mean. Picasso was a womanizing dikhead, Mozart was into scat, Cosby-well, you know. Must separate art from artist
1/5 I used to feel the same. Still do mostly. But I've struggled since maga with my belief that artists, business owners, and even neighbors should be judged SEPARATE from their public entities. I argued what you said throughout the 80s, 90s, and 00s, with clients until I was blue in the face.
2/5 Even then, I distinguished between shitty people and evil people. I no longer listen to my childhood crush, Michael Jackson, because... ya know... child sexual abuse. Or Bill Cosby... rape. etc. Still, I considered hateful speech to be private and separate.
3/5 But I've come to realize that, in so doing, I have played a role in the erosion of public discourse. I helped to embolden the hurtful, evil behavior that quite likely aided maga's growth. I once used, as a joke, in conversation with people who know me and my heart.
4/5 They could have let it slide, but no! They, my good friends, let me have it! In freaking PUBLIC! I was forced to consider my actions. I could have dumped them as friends and continued my "good-hearted" jokes.
5/5 Instead, I realized they were right, curbed my "free-speech" rights, and changed MYSELF. THAT has made all the difference.
I could probably ruin your day with insights to some of the world's most famous artists. Would you give them all up? Movies have hundreds of people that work on them, surely there are quite a few that are total shitheads. I'm not going to not watch a blockbuster because the boom mic guy's a nazi.
Well said, and yes, I too have had this discussion before. The problem is hypocrisy. Again, if we held every artist/entertainer to the same scrutiny, we'd have virtually nothing left, and at some point their art becomes/belongs to the people.
My favorite prank is to pull on transphobes. Catch 'em saying a singular "them" and they short circuit
I love you George, even though I haven’t met you. Your support my sanity.
You support my sanity
Based on current events, great wealth does not make you happy.. it drives you insane and turns you into a hateful thing. Even more reason to eliminate such levels of wealth accumulation forever.
Nah. I'd like to give it a try first. And I'd bet my last dollar I'd still be a better person than her. (And I'm already twice the human Muskrat is)
True. Tho if I had 1/384728473948 I'd be happy. I could get music lessons, get my axolotl a better set up with a water chiller Buy like 2 more axolotls and some spiders and a 5 string bass and I could help people. And hide from them
A rich businessman was running for a local political office for the first time a few years ago. Our friend is an experienced political campaign advisor, well known in the area. At their first meeting, the guy asked her point blank if she was after his money. He lost the election. 🙂
🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯 That is the great lesson we are all supposed to be taking from this moment in history!
🎯🎯🎯 We're learning these lessons for a reason.👍
True! Turns them into Golem
I’ll bet even Gollum had tolerance for trans people as long as they weren’t after his Precious.
Gollum would LOVE a Pride Parade!
It sticks its winkie in the hobbitses.
I think the real cult is the cult of billionaires. They follow the teaching of Ayn Rand and become Objectivists. The philosophy is multi layered but among their views is the belief in prioritising themselves above all others.
I know many with great wealth, even one level below great and you're %100 correct. 💯
Bitter bitch. 🙄
What’s the best way to keep a billionaire bigot away from your home?
Who’s gonna tell her that sign isn’t for her and either is the kindness of neighbors.
I'm British and I can assure you, this is most definitely not a British thing! 🇬🇧 ♥️ 🏳️⚧️
Really? Can you imagine anyone saying that in the UK? We use self deprecation and humor to gauge someone - this would be warning lights blaring, you’d be assuming they were a cult member. Not as bad as someone declaring themselves to be a stable genius, but certainly raised eyebrow time
I find it pretty easy to imagine someone British doing that. There are always more nice, decent people in the world than you think 🤔
Yes I totally agree about decent people and I don't think at all this sign would be out of place in Britain. I was referring to Rowlings take on the sign, by saying it wasn't something I recognized as British.
Didn’t doubt you for a second.
I'm Irish & can say with absolute conviction that this sign would not be seen as uplifting, it would be seen a weirdo flake looking for attention, they would get attention but not the kind they wanted. People would avoid them like the plague.
I'm with you on this. These signs are virtue signalling of the silliest kind. Nice people don't have to wave flags to tell you they're nice. Deeds speak louder than words.
I disagree. Stating boldly and showing symbols of how one feels and believes can encourage others, as do deeds. The two can co-exist and everything helps.
It's just how we tend to think in the UK. If someone tells us how great they are, we see it as boasting. It's a bit of a cultural turn-off.
British people wear their Remembrance Day Poppies with pride and it is not seen as boastful. I don't know people that drive around the block to avoid homes going the extra mile to show their support for fallen soldiers, and I'm sure they wouldn't do that for this sign either. 🏳️⚧️♥️
The poppy is, or was, in remembrance of the fallen, everyone lost someone. It was a national mourning process, a reminder. We put our money in a collection tin for the charity, and we actively helped. It's not a claim to virtue. Good grief, politicians wear big poppies, and who trusts them?
Exactly, that's what I said! And telling someone you love them - when it may seem to them that the whole world is against them - is actively trying to help another soul - it's no different. Only a cynical curmudgeon would be 'turned off' by that
We're a nation of cynical curmudgeons. We live to moan, that's it. I don't think we're unkind, just private with our feelings.
Ah, you must be from the South - I'm from the North. We're made of strong stuff, not ones to moan, we're openly friendly and fond of telling it like it is!
I'm in the US so maybe different but the don't think of it as saying how great they are, but rather showing others they support them. The opposite of people here who wave the stupid MAGA and Trump flags.
Here in the UK, it is how we see it. I don't think she would actually drive out of her way to avoid seeing it, I think it was flippant, ill judged for an international audience. And I have no interest in J K Rowling. She's a very lucky writer, not a good one, just lucky.
I get it. You'd be worried there might be unsolicited hugging. No love for JKR, though!
I took it that Diane meant that JK's remark wasn't a British thing, not the sign.
Yes, absolutely! I've never met anyone British that would do what JK did.
That works, too! 🙃
I read this whole thing to my wife and she immediately said "out of all the people in the world that trash had to be the one to write Harry Potter."
What a miserable cunt. Sorry for the language but she is.
Guess "She who must not be named" wrote from personal experience...
She is more Umbridge. So hateful and bigoted
What a pathetic, paltry soul. She could do so much good with her wealth and fame, and this is all she has. I pity her.
I agree, love is so dangerous, physically!
Pity is something I reserve for those worthy of pity; not those who bring this upon themselves.
Well, I pity anyone who had the potential to be so much and whose smallness and pettiness made her so little.
I understand what you’re saying. I tend to look at it more from the perspective of her failure as a human being. I have known quite a few people who gained wealth and power and then failed so miserably at being kind, generous, even normal.
100%
#JKRowling is just another selfish, callous billionaire it seems.
Lot of that going around these days.
Money clearly does not buy happiness
So disappointed she turned out to be such a vile excuse for a human being.
What a sad and pathetic life JK lives.
Why isn't she on tRUMPS team yet?
ROFL 🧙
This is good information. Now her neighbours know that if they put up a sign like that, then they won't have to talk to J.K again..
😂
☺️EXCELLENT point 👍😂
💪
If she lives in a rich and influential area, all of her neighbors are probably just like her, and I wouldn't doubt if they hold huge block parties of hate every summer.
Yes her fellow billionaire neighbours.
😂
Eeww 🤮
“Yeah girl come get these measles girl mmmm grrr”
He only sleeps with the virus?
Does this mean someone has created a vaccine against Andrew Tate? Give that person a Nobel Prize! 🥳
Yuk! That bulgy man might get the mumps and perhaps might never impregnate a woman. That might be one good thing about his anti-vaxism.
No, he just rapes unvaccinated
I really wish I would’ve known this about her before I bought her books, watched the movies. Even though it was years ago I hate that I gave my money to someone like that!!
Maybe send her one of the books. Might be a good influence on her omg.
Although I dislike her now, those books brought me comfort when I had no one - i was in abused at home and bullied at school. Reading those books gave me hope. An escape. And ultimately, I made friends because of those books. I no longer give her £, but i am grateful for what those books gave me.
So glad I never wasted a dime. Support local libraries instead. Send her a message by mailing her shitty books back to her. Could you imagine if everyone did this😵🤭 Her reputation would be trashed. Demand a refund(even if you don’t get it, it’s the message). WTP need to start calling shitty ppl out
Great idea!!
Spread the word! People talking is powerful but ACTION is de@dly 😵 🪦 Support the local libraries-books/movies/events. Stop spending $$ on none essentials and try to support local businesses who don’t support f47. I know it’s a lot of work now, if WTP ALL did this, small actions big result$$$$$$$
I haven’t been spending since he took over. I made sure to buy my new vehicle right after seeing him win, cancelled my Amazon, Tik Tok, all meta and only buying essentials. We just need more people doing this!
Wow, what an ultimate piece of shit. How rhe fuck did Harry potter do so well?
It's a book that begins with a family of people obsessed with being seen as normal while in secret abusing a young boy and forcing him to stay in the closet (under the stairs)
Yeah, that I do remember, but that's always part if a chosen one trope. He/she has to have had some sort of difficulty to contend. But also to your point, the way she portrays the aunt and uncle was more sinister than other books I gave read.
But also, of all places to put the boy, she placed him in a literal closet.
Ironically, there’s a lot of messages of loving and accepting those who are different in those books… now idk what the hell happened.
That's exactly my point. What happened? Was she always that way or did she get hit on the head, or did she get into a relationship that changed who she was? I'm so confused.
I don't think she intended to promote that in the series. Look at when Hermione rightfully tried to protest slavery and the books portrayed her as being overly dramatic. Or that every fat person in the books are evil except for Molly who was instead described as plump. Sadly there are more examples
My reading of her "issues" with transgender women is that it's projection of unresolved hate for a man who was abusive to her. Sadly this type of negative emotion burns with a terrible intensity when directed at a scapegoat.
The woman literally wrote an entire series about how loving people saves lives and will ultimately save the world and then she goes and posts this.
What she did was waited until she got all the money that she wanted, and then said that the main villain of our story was homosexual, and it was due to his love affair for Dumbledore that cost so many deaths.
She’s just your average hateful c**t.
by being palatable slop
Because we didn't know she was batshit insane then.
Possibly... she could have changed over the years by something or someone. Who knows...
Luck. She basically won the lottery of authors. It hit the right audience at the right time and honestly I don't think it would have done half as well if it weren't picked up for movies. I know a bunch of people who've only seen the movies and they removed a lot of the bigotry the books have.
I'll admit I've not read the books,and I'm ignorant of the language in the books.
How can people let their chidren read her books? I am so glad I found her distateful for a long period.
People are more concerned with where their next meal is coming from and why they had children in this environment than watching what Bigot Witch says, especially if you aren't in the UK. I do think if you're my age at this point if you're still wearing HP stuff, you don't care about her bigotry
I still believe can’t believe she used to work for Amnesty International 🙄
Money does strange things to people
My theory is the money gave her the confidence to show her true colors 🥤
It's grammatically correct to use they/them as a generic third-person singular pronoun to refer to someone whose gender is unknown, so, given that she authors for a living, this isn't the mic drop moment you think it is.
Ah but that's ignoring the age old tradition of: who cares, as long as it's funny
But it is; not because it’s gender neutral, but because it’s simple ass hole behavior.
The context of the post is highlighting using "them" for an unknown person (grammatically correct) combined with her history of unpopular opinions (granted I don't think she's voiced a stance on the nonbinary phenomenon), so no it is not a mic drop bc its usage is correct.
The point is that JK will happily use gender-neutral pronouns when society's rules call for it, so she shouldn't be such a distended rectum when society adjusts those rules.
I think it's a joke about they/them pronouns
Whatevs, I don’t really care enough to make it a discussion.
You missed the point.
perfectly said
She is such a clever woman. Hugely gifted yet hugely flawed. It really is quite sad.
She’s just vile
What a nasty soulless shell
I find it fascinating that a person who can write such a loving series of books about brave children who fight for their friends at the peril of death can appear so mean spirited.
There is a pattern of people who show a modicum of talent and profit from it also succumb to the cardinal sin of believing their own publicity. From that point, the reaction to criticism becomes a defence against a mortal attack. A transformation, if you will.
As a friend used to say- never believe your own press releases.
Maybe her brain is like an LLM. She knew how to put the words together, but never understood what they really meant
I'd been suspicious for a while. There was the thinly veiled antisemitism, culturally insensitive names and having no qualms about the Irish kid always blowing stuff up Then she went full blown soul sucking evil.... Also, kinda derivative
A few of them who "spoke" also had New York / Jersey-esque accents. It all seemed highly suspicious. I've never been a fan of the books or movies.
I was basically forced into going to Universal in FL with my ex and her little sister 5-6 years ago, and I noticed something wasn't right when we walked into the bank and all of the tellers and counters were short goblins with huge hook noses. Not sure if it is what I think or not, but seems like it
Im remembering the Irish kid now... damn..
also the hatred of fat people, the system that innately sorts kids into "good, bad, smart, and 'here'"
also zero regard or even fleeting empathy for non-human animals other than about what service they perform
The more you look, the more unpleasant it becomes 🤬
No systemic change to prevent this happening again. The progaganist dreaming of being a cop. defending slavery "the slaves like it!"
Books about persecuted minorities and their different abilities, no less
But Dumbledore did NOTHING to free the house elves. That school perpetuated slavery.
She'd vote the same way as the people who burned the "witches", but is blinded by her prejudices.
She is the evil witch not featured in her books.
Gosh she’s a miserable cow
We already know you are a hateful bitch, we don't need a reminder. Or is this you just crying for more attention?
Wait isn’t she British?
Who would have thought that all you need to do is tell them you LOVE them and they would go away? Like magic! Trump, I love you! Now GTFO. To Mars with Musk. If possible.
She styled herself on South African, Elon Musk. He also doesn't love anyone, including most of his offspring.
Why is this bugging her so much?
She unfortunately is a racist & bigot
As a blue dot residing in deep red Tennessee, I'd be THRILLED if a neighbor put up this sign, and I'd show up on their doostep with a lovely gift welcoming them to the neighborhood. My kind of people!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
Sending you love and support from Canada! 💙 ❤️ 🩷 💚 💛 💜 🧡
I'm also a blue dot in the same ocean of red Tennessee. I'm in Knoxville. And I would do the same. All blue dots are welcome in my world.
Lovely to make your acquaintance! I'm about half an hour due south of Cookeville, so roughly two hours from your neck of the woods. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️
If you’re ever in blood-red West Virginia, pay us a visit in blue-dot Shepherdstown!
Sorry to butt in, but as a Brit, but "blue dot America" sounds like my kind of place. 🥳 Sending good wishes from a stormy Scotland.
Back atcha, good friend! I hope to visit your side of the puddle someday 😏
Don't forget to support Major Ojeda! I'm not up there, but if I could I would vote 100% for him. He's running for Congress 2026. He's on YouTube every night at 8:30 eastern time. His show is called Ojeda Live!
You're originally from Los Angeles? I was born, bred and raised in LA. Montebello to be exact.
I'm like an hour NW of Chattanooga.
Heya! I'm just east of Nashville, would love more like-minded TN friends!
Same! xx
Hi all!! 👋🏽 We are blue dots in our rural community just west of Nashville! Nice to meet y’all!
Me too but in Alaska. I desperately wish I would see a sign like this in my neighborhood…
Wow! What the F is her problem?
She's a miserable cow.
Truly she turned out to be such a massive disappointment. Such a shame.
I'm against banning or burning books, full disclosure, I've never read any of hers, sooooo 😏
Joanne is the unhappiest of twats. I hope she goes more than just hundreds of miles and off the grid so we don't need to hear her unnecessary and not asked for degrading of people for attention.
She is Voldermort!
Most definitely a Slytherin at the very least.
I know the Brits are much less religious than they used to be but I didn't realize it was the "love thy neighbor" thing that they truly found repellent
She does not speak for Brit's
I know she doesn't. I was trying to comment on what an asshat she is. Sarcasm is my love language but sometimes it gets in the way 😉
That sounds just like the current state of the USA, as well. Maybe it is starting to be a world-wide thing. We're going to be busy the next decade at least fixing all of the shit these assholes have ruined. It will be a long and rough ride, so buckle up!
It's saccharine sentimentality we find off-putting, and this sign has it in spades. We're not keen on something as bland as a stranger saying "have a nice day" to us, this sign is toe-curling, regardless of the intent behind it
I'm not British, nor religious. I have found that it's usually religious people who have the harder time loving their neighbor...especially a neighbor who lives a life of which they disapprove.
wtf happened to her?
I wish I hadn’t loved the Harry Potter series. She’s vile.
She created something amazing and then destroyed it soon after. I’m not going to watch the movies or read the books again. I’m an artist, but I do not believe you excuse the terrible human because you enjoy their art. Hold them accountable.
She stole reams of it. There are many articles about her plagiarism. I remember as a kid tuinking, “Oh, like Worst Witch only worse.”
I agree. The books were a good read at the time. They also encouraged young people to read. But in retrospect they are problematic and what she has become is vile.
I never saw the books as problematic, but the author -definitely.
It was pretty vile upon arrival with a lot of the subtext, but not to our younger selves who more than likely didn't read that far into things.
I read it with my son so I was an adult at the time, but yeah, all the shitty anti-trans stuff came out later. I loved that series with all my heart, but now I am turning my back on it.
I meant the additional kinda racist stuff too.
Gotcha.
bitch literally invented wizard racism for her story. and even worse, it's written in a way that doesn't make any fucking sense when you think about it
IIRC were seen as relatively progressive for the time period but it was awhile ago. In retrospect some of the stuff is racist or otherwise problematic.
The slave race who prefers being enslaved by nature was pretty awful.
Yeah, I saw that it was awful once it was pointed out to me. I was only a kid when the books came out.
Almost same. I was freshly 20ish. Still basically a kid.
I think I was around 21 or so when the last book came out.
And the whole slavery stuff.
Yes exactly, I brought that up somewhere. I'm not great at social media. 😅
You’re doing just fine, my friend.
nah, once you learn a few tips about writing stories properly in books as well as shows or movies, you'll easily stop loving that tasteless franchise after a re read. just saying by experience
Listen man. There's lots of Michael Jackson Bops that I still listen to. And that weird R Kelly YouTube series trapped in the closet. I don't know why they had to take that down. That was gold. Sometimes artists do things and we just have to separate them from the art. Ice cube and anaconda.
It’s definitely her.
Damn, money does totally f*ck some folks up. Sad.
And she was a welfare bitch before her wealth! Ahh, she writes about witchcraft, her thoughts are dark, she'll see hell soon! Do mention "MADAME VOLDEMORTS" name often in praying she see Satan soon! 🙏🙏
I've read the books. I must point out that they have nothing to do with witchcraft. She took a watered down plot of Campbellian Star Wars and redressed in a fantasy story, based on her own fictionalization of witchcraft. Nothing in the books resembles modern day Paganism, Wiccan, or Witchcraft.
I've read them too. And watched the movies. Spells. Demons. Am I missing something?
Nasty or dark people, such as Bill O'Rielly, have written books about historic people, like Jesus and Lincoln. That does not make Jesus or Lincoln nasty or dark. Spells and demons are common to most religions, this does not make them "dark".
👍
💯
I've decided, if I could time travel, I'd travel back with edited Harry Potter books and release them 6 months before JK. Just Yank it from under her
Please make Harry trans.
"Harry is a t-boy now. Sorry."
Nah, Draco Malfoy. Turns out he was nasty because he was actually she, and kept being pressured by her father to "Forget such ridiculous notions"
Make Draco gay, with a massive crush on Harry, and his dad can be a closeted gay guy playing the macho deatheater because of Voldemort. Who has a crush on Voldemort.
For a second OK. But that's been done too way many times before. It's be bad trans Rep.
Sounds like you are using us as an insult there. I managed 50 years suppressing and still managed not to be a twat
Nah, I'm trans myself (Gender Fluid umbrella), and would more focus on interesting character ideas. Like, Draco in general is nasty because of their father. Would be interesting to explore it as due to self hatred embedded by their father, and once they know they are valid and their dad is wrong 1/2
2/2 the flood gates open and they just have... A release
Oohhhh I get what you mean now. Sorry for misunderstanding. I’ve seen the trope before, numerous times, but subverting that antisemitic xenophobic transphobic ghoul’s magnum opus by including a positive trans redemption arc for Draco / Darcy(?) would be amazing
The misunderstanding is totally fair - We all get used as the punchline a *lot* to the point of not even thinking about it, even Weird Al has some older songs where these days I go, "Urf dude...", & he's one of the chillest peeps out there. Better to call it out & be wrong because 99% of the time...
(Really want a redo of Albequerque due to this. Love the song but the "Hermaphrodite" part... At least he does apologize for it and explains that at the time, he understood it as a medical term, which fair, it was. Not his fault assholes turn medical terms into slurs >.>)
Idk. Harry Potter franchise, still as popular as it is today, but a main character is trans. I don't see a downside there, I guess?
No downside at all, and it's Vee's gazumping version that makes JKR's unpublishable and she lives or dies in poverty.
And split the proceeds with human rights groups that advocate for trans recognition.
Ahahahaha
This is perfect 😂
God, she is a truly horrible waste of oxygen.
I’m with JK on this one. Trust me. It’s a British thing. We’re just not demonstrative, and get cooties when others are.
I possess that great British characteristic of not being a quidnunc. I can recommend it. Allows sweet oblivion to much angst. Joanne’s reaction seems more repressed demonstrative than insular. Second hand pirated attention. 🤷🏻
Reverse virtue signalling!
A lot aren't, perhaps, but many others are. I mean, on that particular issue, it strikes me that the British are as united as a clowder of cats.
Ugh...
Wow. Imagine having to have a negative opinion about something as small as a sign just to show the world how elite-bitter of a person you are.
Elite-bitter! Ha! My new favorite word.
Its a different culture. We just think crap like this is weird.
Yes! Especially about a sign projecting love!
Wow
Of course she'd avoid that sign! Her skin begins to burn too close to moral goodness.
I don't think it's a British thing. It's a JK Rowling thing and it's pretty disgusting.
"Love each other as I have loved you." - John 15:12
All of her outspoken intolerance aside, this is an obvious sign of a personality disorder. Especially blaming it on her culture. “But it’s a joke…” No, it’s not. And it wouldn’t be funny even if it was. A prime example of someone who did great work but has a horribly abusive nature buried inside
But did she do great work? Her heroes do nothing about widespread slavery. Hogwarts had elf slaves! How is Dumbledore a hero when he did nothing to free the elves?
Yep. She let the cat out of the bag on that one😒👎
Her saying trans women aren't women wasn't enough to make it clear that she's a terrible person.
Honestly, I love Harry potter and still do. But the more you examine it, the more you realize how it really isn't that great. I think it just happened at the right time for us to fall in love with it. There are so many issues with the storyline itself, let alone the whole mythology behind the world
plus it's actually super derivative and everybody seemed to think it was massively original which confused me because I had already read many many wizard school stories before it came out
It was my intro to the Wizarding world. But its inconsistency with wandless magic and the super secrecy and taking a back door to muggles. Then the silly notion of using owls, floo powder, and portkeys when apparition is a thing. Then just how useless of a villian voldemort is. It's just a kids book
yeah it was just a kids book unfortunately her hatefulness tarnished it forever lot of people saw things they otherwise wouldn't have noticed like the racism and slavery...
Any time you have to tell people it is a "joke," it isn't a joke.
It's not a British thing JK it's a your shrivelled up dead heart only contains hate thing
She made ‘hers’ and is now pulling up the ladder, methinks 🤫
It is wild that the woman who wrote one of the most evil characters in modern literature because she hated Thatcher turned into someone who Thatcher would have loved.
Very true
She always claimed Hermione was based on her. I used to think it was Umbridge, but clearly it was Rowldemort!
On Thatcher?
J.K., Hate is International. Here's hoping thee re-route you take winds you into an alleyway with no exit.
And we meet her there.
I did not appreciate our meeting during my school day at PEOPLE'S CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. Although id been using a side office there to conduct any business that came up during the school day.I walked to chapel and all i saw was grinning Takei. Did i put you in a movie? Was Revenge of Khan in the 'can'?
My mistake Wrath of Khan was 3 years before this.
She truly is a pile of cold garbage.
Trust me, it’s a British thing. We are afraid of someone randomly starting to hug and kiss us. The French triple cheek kiss is a particular national challenge.
✨ Love it. 💖✨
Wasn’t she some sob story before her fame?
Yep, How soon some people CHOOSE to forget.
Yeah, she was a single mom living in an apartment and on welfare. Now she's the highest paid author and is a terrible human being. Seems to happen when people become billionaires.
Never liked her or her weird ass books. Yes I said I hate her books. Attack all you want. They are strange to me.
I don't actually like her writing either LMAO I'm in my fifties now, I was one of those kids that used to read three Steinberg books every single week all through high school, I have read so much for decades. And I'm glad especially young boys get turned on to reading and that it isn't Christian
Never read her books. I gave bever been able to get 1/4 through any of the movies. If I dislike the movies, I'm not reading the books.
Exactly!! I knew what you meant lol 🫶🏽
*I have never*
I hate her books too. They are the bad kind of weird
I am moving in that direction also.
Why would anyone attack you for that? I like the Harry Potter series, but hate bigot JKR.
On Twitter I use to be rabidly attacked if I said I wasn’t a fan of hers or her books. It would last for hours so I guess I thought it would happen here too
Xitter is a cesspool. Let’s hope this place is better.
I think Daniel Radcliffe, the literal face of the Harry Potter movie series, has even cut ties with J.K. Rowling and doesn’t want to be a part with the series anymore. It’s probably why HBO is doing that reboot tv series so they could find a “new face” of the Harry Potter franchise.
How could someone so stupid have created the Harry Potter saga?
She is obviously refering to this. Get a grip. If you preach love, you should practice it. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...
I don't understand why she would feel this way. Can someone please advise?
She's a hateful bigot and an embarrassment to the UK... however, it actually IS a British thing in that we really don't like grandstanding or big cheesy displays of virtue signalling, they are viewed with suspicion (and rightly so). It's just not our style honestly. But her post is also unBritish.
Thank you for your reply.
The hell happened to this woman?? This is the same woman who wrote Harry Potter telling off Voldemort for never knowing love or friendship. 🤷♀️
There's two options there. Either she really think that way, which is sad, or she just do the thing to stay relevant in media, which is throw random shit around so people talk about you. Which is also sad. Some people say she have dementia or something, but she's eerily consistent, so… sad it is.
Harry was her wish fulfillment. Voldemort was her true inner self.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Good news for anime fans, BTW. The One Piece Manga has surpassed the Harry Potter series in sales, making it the 7th most bought book series of all time Thank God Jerk Karen Rowling is losing footing
One Piece my love
I can't stand anime, but that's great to hear. Fuk Rowling!!
Let's Goooooooooooo!
Rowldemort.
I'm completely flummoxed. 😵💫😵🫤☹️
The series was always anti-LGBT. Hermione, who is JK, laughs at Archie for wearing a dress. She then derides him on Pottermore. The only gay character must stay in the closet because he can't be trusted to have a romantic relationship. There is not a single queer kid at Hogwarts
But Harry and Ron did not support Hermione’s free the enslaved house elves movement. That’s when I lost respect for those books.
Ok, that’s fine Joanne, you can do that. Seems strange to me to be that mad about unconditional love, but you’re welcome to feel how you feel.
She who must not ne named
Rowldemort :P
To be that offended at the concept of someone loving all their fellow humans is pretty telling... and on brand.
Ha! Glorious!
Thank you universe,I left X and don’t have to see more hate…
Am I missing something? Seems a pretty normal comment, but is the problem it was made by JKR not Joe Bloggs?
The use of "them" as a gender-neutral pronoun had dropped out of fashion with transphobes, who generally used "him/her", emphasising how important expressing someone's sex is to them even if they were unaware as to what it was
What happened to her... ? Such a hard right turn.
She has unfortunately some time ago was proven to be a racist bigot
In 2004, Forbes named Rowling "the first billion-dollar author".Rowling denied that she was a billionaire in a 2005 interview. By 2012, Forbes concluded she was no longer a billionaire due to her charitable donations and high UK taxes.
She had donated more of her own money to charity than any other person on the planet
So much hatred on Bluesky makes me sad
Not tolerating someone because of their bigoted behavior isn't automatically hate. But personally it's disappointing that she is so stubbornly ignorant and mean spirited. I used to live and breathe her books. It hurt a lot when she started being cruel to people like me.
What I read was that JK would go well out her way to be sure she got this unconditional love.... With all these blistering responses, it is pretty clear why..... I see a lot of bots aimed at separating her from her good works and fortune....
Donating money does not stop her from being a bigot. She was a bigot when she donated and as a bigot after work, she’s just doing it to make naive people think that she’s a good person.
You don't address what she posted....going out of her way to receive undivided, unconditional love... Bigot or not, I do know her actions embarrassed those who do less and can care less, but they have more than others, more even than her.
She's saying she would avoid that, as in she would take detours to stay away from the love/friendship/community that this neighbor is trying to offer and encourage
Lol if by bot you mean I stand for something and don't tolerate hate, sure. I don't think blistering is the right word. I literally said "disappointing" because her behavior has harmed and let down many many people who used to enjoy her books as kids.
Sam "truly not" wise, I was speaking about the responses as a whole ( or rather a hole ).... JK's avoidance of this mysterious person is solely to receive that love, like receiving the hope from those who pray for the souls in purgatory ...
Who are you talking about lol
Being a bigot is a problem regardless of your “charity”. And , funny, cuz this was about a “love” post that she hated. Find your center. I beg you.
British humor is very dry
It could also have been a (JKR) post reflecting ironically on her own social awkwardness, not necessarily meant to disparage hypothetical neighbors.
I would expect a billionaire writer to know how to make her intentions CLEAR. And frankly, I think she did.
True - I agree she makes me scratch my head for someone who must be well read and so would therefore expect to be more open minded. However in this case, there is a clue when she says "British" and it would be British humor to recognize standoffishness in one's self. If it wasn't humor, it was dumb.
And this is where you learn that donating to charities because your high net worth puts you in a bigger tax bracket doesn’t make you morally unassailable.
But who did she donate to? Donating to hate groups does not make you a great person.
She donated to organizations that support single parents (since she was one) and their children
Who cares? It’s all performative nonsense to try to clean her karmic debt. All the charity in the world doesn’t make up for a soul full of bigotry and hate.
Jimmy Savile donated tons of money to charity. So did Epstein. And Bill Cosby.
Any man who donates money 100% expects something in return
There’s a dark and bitter heart .
You don't want to meet people that love you. 😭❤️🌈👩❤️💋👩🤍🤎💗💙💚💛💜🖤🩷🩶🩵🫶🏼all the hearts I could find + 1🧡
She’s such a cunt
That she is.
So appropriate. Sometimes this word just hits the nail smack bang on the head.
She is a barnacle encrusted whale vagina
Why not a barnacle encrusted whale penis? 🤔
Ouch😧😫
Somehow that visual is even worse because I find barnacles so ICKY
A beautiful sentence
If she saw this, she would sue you for your ability to compose a more elegant and succinct sentence then she ever has. Never stop.
🤣
🤣
I try
I unno, she lacks neither the depth or warmth, tbf.
JK is not a cunt... cunts are vessels of warmth, depth, and feeling. Everything that she isn't.
I moved here to avoid the hate on X, seems it’s coming anyway. Too bad.
Only where deserved
This is the correct answer. I had an ongoing online spat with her in 2014. She is an ignorant, drunk tweeting moron. Her books are badly written, even as childrens books. She is indeed a cunt.
The K stands for Kuntface.👍
“Cunt” implies depth and warmth, both of which she lacks.
She’s a wank weasel
Weasels are way better.
We thought Harry was her literary avatar, but it was actually Voldemort.
Or Rowldemort, if you will.
I am so happy I never read any of her crappy books, small comfort, but a comfort nonetheless.
Going a hundred miles out of her way rather than risk being loved does explain a lot. And they think Americans are crazy.
💯
Well, Americans are crazy. Look at the mess we made.
Excuse me? I didn't make it.
I didn't either, but we're the ones that will have to clean it up, sadly.
I fear it's too late for us to be able to clean it up without foreign assistance from our once NATO allies.
Every day I become more surprised that Voldemort didn't beat Harry Potter.
Damn, damn, damn! I won't be able to chuckle at that cute little Ron Weasley without thinking about what a mean bitch his creator is.
*orders 27 signs* like my mom always said, a kind thought every 8 hours keeps 3 JK Rowlings away.
Omg! Voldemort was her!
Nah she‘s Umbridge
Word
Yep. Definitely.
Voldumbridgemort j. k
She who shall not be named
thats what the j k is for
That really scans!!
Rowldemort.
😂
She’s not wrong.
Yes of course, because all she is comfortable with is hate and exclusion. You always avoid situations, people and places that don't resonate with your own frequency. It's uncomfortable to be a yucky person in the presence of a high frequency loving person.
British humor is an acquired taste, even when it's tasteless.
Now that’s how the deathly hallows should’ve ended.
WOW!!! I will never read or watch another thing she puts out or is already out! She disgusts me
What’s her fucking problem?
She has unfortunately proven to be a racist bigot
I came here to say this.
She's frightened of what she can't control.
Gosh, she must be so miserably sad. Trump, Elmo, Zucherberg, Bezos, this idiot. It's really true, money can't buy happiness.
I never got into Harry Potter. Could get through the first book. Now I’m very happy I never supported this cold-hearted bitch
Wow. Imagine being so bitter that you criticize someone for spreading love. SMDH
It is so sad. She wanted to teach children that half giants and werewolfs weee valuable and should be included, and she is so intolerant
Basically, that all sorts of "freaks of nature," are actually people, just people who look different, which describes intersex people very well, and then she goes off about transgender people. She didn't think her personal philosophy through, apparently.
And I thought all the republicans in the US government had cornered the market on ignorance and hatefulness.
They're religious extremists. She's just a bigot for no reason other than her own unpleasantness.
No, not a British thing. Just ..no
Seems like a sociopath thing tbh
JKR? Yes, of course.
Indeed
Every time I see a post from her I’m even more thankful that I bought my kids’ Harry Potter books at a thrift store and she didn’t get a dime of my money.
I wish I could get a refund and erase her stories from my head so I can buy my axolotl a better set up. I need to cycle a tank!!!!!
I got whole set as a gift (it was the thought that counts). So I guess I'm off the hook.
Boycott JK Rowling! I thought she came from very humble roots, but apparently, all that money from success gave her amnesia. 😡🖕
I’m starting to believe she did steal the Harry Potter books.
Or she sold her soul 🤷
I remember seeing an interview of her right before the movies came out & she seemed like a genuinely decent person. WTF has happened to her?
A hate campaign, and it seems to have been a successful if this thread is anything to go by.
wealth and fame...
Wealth, fame, and probably some far-right propaganda
Not to forget the contributions of Lord Moldemort
She got criticized for a bad take and instead of processing it and growing from the experience like an adult, she dug her heels in and has been dying on this hill ever since.
I hate that something I love as much as Harry Potter came from such an absolutely miserable c*nt.
What a soulless bitch. She's another billionaire who thinks she's superior to the rest of the human race
She feel off the billionaire list for her philanthropy.
She's trying not to go to hell?
And she used to take assistance from her country too, not a bitch
😬👀
Howso not a bitch??
I think it's a typo and she meant what a bitch.
She has unfortunately proven to be a racist bigot
Like when she named the only Black character in her books "Shacklebolt"
There's so many cringe names in her books that I didn't pick up on as a kid. On top of it being obscenely uncool, it's lazy low quality writing.
I never could understand why everyone liked it. Terrible writing.
I don’t think so, the humour and imagination in the first one drew me in and I really enjoyed the series. She’s also responsible for getting countless numbers of children interested in reading. What she’s turned into is awful but that doesn’t change the fact her writing was immensely popular
I was a huge fan, so a big part of that was escapism. It's a story of a powerless kid gaining magic & money, defeating a Hitler archetype. JKR was a strong woman that overcame a male dominated industry. The rose colored glasses fell off when she started advocating the eradication of trans people.
A big part of the fandom was kinship and supporting her, it wasn't strictly about the quality of the writing.
#JKRowling became too powerful. Good editors didn’t have the clout to edit her and she needed it badly. Her ego grew to mammoth proportions and she lacked the decency to respect the input of people who would have made her work better. She’s a selfish, callous billionaire now.
I thought it was just meant to be an obscure SF reference, when I first read it.
😂😂😂💥🤯
I will never understand how someone who wrote the Harry Potter series could say something like this.
My crackpot theory is that she was an industry plant and had a ghost writer.
Molly is silently judging her
She isn't a very nice person
I guess you missed the fat shaming via Harry's brother, the casual racism of an Irish kid whose spells blow up things, the black person thrown in solely for diversity, the ...
And the enslaved house elves! Dumbledore allowed slavery at Hogwarts. Hermione tried to start a protest and Ron and Harry belittled it! Shameful!
It's a British thing. I'd do the same.
because when we first read hp, we didn't notice how it goes from "turn the fat kid into a literal pig because he's fat", " and ends with "our heroes heroically save the status quo of slavery and segragation while bullying the one kid who dislikes that"... "morals" of the story.
Not sure if you've noticed but a certain level of wealth gives you a specific kind of brainrot.
Money and success can destroy the mind. Make one incapable of considering personal fault.
Isn't it pathetic? I would have thought she'd be a sensitive soul.
Now, I'm beginning to wonder if she is a Trump supporter.
She is
She’s a billionaire of course she is
For sure
It's the opposite we are cynical enough in the UK never to fall for an orange man child like trump
Boris Johnson anybody?
BoJo was a boy-child then?
Johnson!?
If only that was true, either you've got amnesia or you're turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to our lamentable situation.
Evidence please ?
Brexit! You fell for that. So many things.
Really? How's brexit working out?
52% of Brits, fell hook line and sinker for Trump like lies & misinformation. A mad right wing takeover could really happen here.
I agree their were many who did but many found genuine issues with the EU
And isn't Farage still around, causing trouble?
With 4 other MPs out of over 600.
Not great but still better than sacking all our public workers. And we are not being run by an unelected “friend” who calls himself after a dictator.
Well we didn’t vote for it twice. Learning from our mistakes is very English.
Good point, and yet only England and Wales voted with leave majorities.
Hence why I said English, Scotland as always had more sense !
And Northern Ireland, but unfortunately a lot of us here were like turkeys voting for Christmas hoping it would further distance us from 🇮🇪.
When it comes to England learning from its mistakes, want to say: Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May, but I don't remember how many of them won a general election.
Me neither johnson did
And didn't Johnson win re-election as well?
Lord no 🤣
The Conservative Party members elected their leaders. Not all the English ( UK ) population roughly 0.19% in fact , none of these elected via elections.
Sorry should have clarified General Elections ☺️
So there hasn't been a single general election since David Cameron resigned?
She definitely is. She’s been opening her cheese torture and flicking her fossilised bean at his brutality to trans people
*cheese toastie (damn you autocorrect) But then where Rowling is concerned maybe cheese torture IS appropriate
Some artists just know how to do whatever it takes to please the public enough to make a profit from them. Even if they are personally horrible humans in reality 😡
I loved the books but a lot of people have since pointed out a LOT of problematic stuff in them. From racism to slavery being good. Rowling was never woke.
I never took them that way at all. I'm not an idiot, and I saw completely the opposite in her writings.
you know how the books end with the titular hero becoming the boss of keeping racism and slavery a thing?
I didn't see it either until I saw people pointing out VERY obvious problems. I guess as a cishet (passes for) white male I didn't spot them myself. Lesson learned, I hope.
She can only write in fiction because in reality she is an empty vessel that needs hate/ racism / transphobia and mould to give her a feeling at all. So people should stop giving her credits as a voice for anything…
She's a shit author who plagiarized chunks of the story, and even with better authors doing the "magic school" but a hell of a lot better before her, she still managed to only write a world where wizards shit themselves because they don't have bathrooms (she actually said this). She's a hack.
Embracing bigotry turns the brain to pudding.
I'm British and I'd invite them round for tea.
What kind of tea do you prefer??
why do people still buy her corrupted stuff and cosplay it?
JK Rowling is a small and pathetic person. This is a mean and sad way to live your life. I pity her.
WHY has she become so hateful?
Become? Her novels are all wall to wall racist tropes.
Hmmm … J don’t read them but has gotten a different impression of her thru various interviews, etc. Thanks for bringing me up-to-date.
No sweat. If you are curious, just find a list of the names of any nonwhite characters. Ghastly.
Pardon my typos! 🥹🤪
No worries. Didn't even notice.
No, they aren't. They have some racist tropes, but not abnormally so. She's incredibly popular in Israel; Harry Potter is a sensation among Jews despite the tropes. She's a shit person, but she wrote good books.
So the critiques from asian people and black people and irish people are just null and void because she is popular in a country involved in an active genocide? Cool story bro.
Hamas released the latest population numbers in Gaza; the Gaza population got a net gain of 22,000 due to the number of births. Palestinians are the only "genocided" people whose population keeps going up year after year. The Jewish population hasn't caught up to where it was pre-Holocaust.
That right there sounds like nazi talk.
That is horrid; the fact that you don't know the history of the holocaust but somehow believe you do scares me. You have no idea what happens in Israel, just like you have no idea how popular her books are in Asia. I suggest you step back and re-evaluate what you think you know.
Yeah so you are such an obvious either nazi or russian bot it's not even funny. My family died in the holocaust you clown. Stop farming my family's misery for online clout.
If that is true, then the fact that you don't know what genocide is or understand what is going on to all Israelis, Jews, and others alike, and Jews around the world is even more horrible. I hope you do some soul-searching and grow as a person. Have a good and productive life. Allah Maak.
She is toxic. And she can be because she has money and no one will stop her.
She’s such a miserable person. To have everything in the world but choose to hate marginalized communities for simply existing.
Exactly!
Jk Is a repulsive human - apparently she gets smacked instead of hugged and probably for good reason
I still can’t fathom that the person who wrote all those lovely books chooses to be such a hateful slag. Have we checked her for a brain tumor, or dementia ?
Could be the mold growing in her castle all around her 🤷🏻♀️
Causing dementoria, perhaps?
More likely good ol' British humour try some it stops rapists being president
Oh bugger off. You have about as much credibility calling it British humour as your ex-PM’s “spaffing up the wall” Johnson and Lettuce Truss at the Nat-C pack conference.
I love you ❤️
Obviously. Stanzi, hallowed be her name, speaks only the truth. youtube.com/shorts/lGUeD... Credit: @stanzipotenza.bsky.social
Well, that’s was very well done creepiness.
Money does strange things to people. Like thinking whatever vile thing you say is A 👌🏻
Wow, what a hateful bitch.
She forgets we know all about her hate!
What’s WRONG with HER?!
Never stop, George! #democracy #lovewins #empathy #resist #respect
Who's up for making these signs for _all_ of her neighbors?
Probably most of Edinburgh tbf They cannae stand bigots and if I still lived there I'd be heeding tae the art shop
I got fiveeeeeeee on it…
Pathetic TERF
She’s and awful awful person.
In a tiny microcosm where unicorn tears formed from ephemeral delusion truth mourned its own passing.
What a dumb bitch
And everyone lived happily ever after. The end.
WTH is wrong with her?
She's a hateful asshole.
How can someone even remotely have an issue with a saying like that?
I guess people feel they can shine their ugly. So sad.
Their whole fame is based on a boy surviving because of love 🙄 it's not even a good story. There are thousands of other similar stories. their's just got lucky
A woman with such vast imagination and wealth, and this is how she views the world. I will never understand.
No imagination. She stole her ideas. She’s just an awful person.
What a small, dark heart she must have, and a small spiteful mind. The energy she spends on hating and spreading that hate are the very reason for these untypical demonstrations of public support for the targeted, and for love.
The response is more than hateful. It's dumb. If she takes a hundred miles detour, she'd never get home...
She must be at the bottom of that bucket of gold. No, most likely under the bucket.
And there's crabs in that bucket for sure.
JK Rowling has proven herself to be a true disappointment. My relationship with Harry Potter ended when his creator showed her true colors.
Same. I have no clue how someone like her (now) ever wrote something like this (then.)
I wouldn't piss on her if she were on fire, so keep that in mind when I say that bad people aren't bad 24/7 365. Shitty people can say and do things that are actually, well, not shitty lol. Doesn't erase the harm they cause, of course. But sometimes, y'know, good things pop out.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree and I understand what you're saying. I also know authors tend to write themselves into their work, so I just can't comprehend how someone who wrote something so profound and poetic could just betray it all afterwards when they had that capacity for introspection.
Tbh I can't really comprehend it either, because it just doesn't make sense. :/
Wow, this speaks volumes!
ghost writer
Gotta say, if it were that simple, Scotland (or wherever she keeps her cauldron) would be covered in these signs....
We witches reject the assertion that joy sucking ghoul could ever be one of us. Try the necromancers
Fair enough.
100%
Oh. Follow. 😍
We don’t want her either. We may raise the dead, but her dead ass heart is beyond even our power to revive.
Hog Wart
cf. The Religious Society of Friends (aka Quakers), English Origin, Just as radical now as back when. I encourage JKR to listen quietly to The Light Within.
Rowling is one of the most detestable human beings on the planet. Imagine having all that wealth and concentrating all your energy on hating a group of people merely for existing. When she dies, the gasp of relief from the planet will resonate with millions.
Elons long lost half-sister?
I don’t think it’s “a British thing” as much as it’s an asshole thing.
Hello from all the assholes in Britain! Nobody puts crap like this outside our houses, we have the occasional flag hanging out a window, but sticking lame "positivity" memes on your lawn would be seen as bizarre. 100% chance of coming home to find it covered in graffiti or thrown in a canal / river.
I wouldn't doubt that for a moment.
In the UK, people put flags out for important football or rugby matches. Anything else is viewed, rightly, with deep suspicion. The sort of sign seen here is incredibly un British.
More a c**t thing, which is Brit for a b***h thing.
🎯🎯🎯
Heh, I just made the same comment on an adjacent post of George’s, bc I was lost.
I was wondering if the British were simply pas the point of caring about people.
Nah, just her.
Just her and the English Defense League, Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Kemi Badenoch, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak... at least 1/3 of the Tory party, really.
Side eye from the Irish...
Fair, more than 'just her' we have plenty of asshats over here, but she definately does not speak for all of us. No matter how much she seems to think she does.
Oh, I can only wish to be in Ireland. Some asshole in my family thought it was a great idea to come to America.
Wherewver we are, we gotta fix this shit. Nowhere is entirely safe right now and we need politicians to know they better get in the buisness of protecting trans folks and the trans folks around us to know we have their backs. This is cis people nonsense, we gotta fix it.
I’m pretty sure the UK has more progressive and effective anti hate laws than the USA. I’m pretty sure it even encompasses hate speech. Don’t quote me, because it’s been awhile since I heard and researched. I think British people can be caring. It’s just intolerant people get more attention 😕
We care (or did 12 years ago when I was last there) it’s why we have a support system, national health. But we assume if someone says something like I’m full of love or ‘I’m a stable genius’, that the opposite is true. If it was true then other people would say it about you.
No that’s just an ultra rich people thing of all nationalities
I’m “British” (whatever she means by that) , and I don’t agree with her. On pretty much anything at all. Also, I’ve never read Potter, so I’m probably missing a lot of the hypocrisy in her current opinions
Not so much "hypocrisy," even. I don't grasp how _she_ managed to write them, because she so clearly lacks empathy, and they have it.
I don’t even understand how this is offensive? It could be one of my godless heathen friends or a holy roller Christian cult church with this sign.
Oh there’s your friends! /jk
Guessing her huge wealth and celebrity earned from fiction and fantasy that took her off the dole has not made her happy.
Hard to believe someone so vile could have written a series about acceptance.
Grifters are very devious that way😒😡
She’s not a nice person.
She is 💩.
Why is she so hateful??
That's because she's a hateful moldy corncob.
Reminiscent of this from V for Vendetta. The secret letters in the cellblock.
Nice posting 🙏🏼💙
Love this. It’s *such* a GREAT book too.
Oh that’s lovely.
Burn all Harry Potter books! ( I’m only half joking)
It's not a British thing. It's a douche thing.
Gosh, I hope that’s not a British thing, JK. Can’t say I’ve encountered that sentiment among the Brits I’ve known. Perhaps you don’t speak for the British? @JK_Rowling
Wow she really has turned into a piece of shit.
Wasn't even a full year ago one of the most hated people on Earth told her to post more positive content 🤣
No... She has just ALWAYS BEEN one.
Touché
She has always been Rowldemort.
Money let’s you be an asshole I guess
That’s what I came to say!!!!
money does that to some people
Nope it how we are on the UK.
What a miserable person she is!
What’s wrong with her? 😟
Seems to be a billionaire thing
We say NO to their tax cuts. We’ll withhold own taxes just to prove a point. They can arrest all of us. 😉
JKR's not a billionaire anymore. She's given away more of her fortune than anyone in history, I think. How she can be so giving and also have such a huge blind spot to her bigotry is something I find very confusing.
Wtf is wrong with Rowling?
She is such a fake. People who love others don't vote and support the dump team. Satan is working hard!
Isn't that sign the basis of Christianity? Love thy neighbor? Turn the other cheek? Man, that woman is so messed up.
How does someone have the gift to be able to write such wonderful stories, yet turn out to be such a vile person? smh
Simple, nothing she wrote was original
Also very poorly written - editing clearly stopped after book 3 and they become virtually unreadable. I read them out loud as bedtime stories and had to skip over paragraphs and pages of turgid repetitive prose
Much better is this book from a former client of my literary agency. Written in the early 2000s and now a wee bit dated (CW: uses the term "Aspergers"), it was written in answer to the challenge, "Write a better fantasy than JKR set in a school or shut up." mairibheag.com/the-everywhe...
So true! She needed to listen to good editors! And the slavery crap! Hogwarts had slaves!!
God, the lack of editing drove me nuts reading them. Mind you, the he prose was incredibly basic when she did have an editor. The world of Harry Potter is great at drawing people in, but those books were never well written.
🎯
Cynical isn't vile it means never having a Trump as president
I’m puzzled by it.
And the thing is that the sign probably isn't even real. Just AI stupid stuff to rile everyone up. They are OBSESSED!!!
Wow. What a POS
Miserable bitch has got the biggest chip on her shoulder! I guess having all the money in the world doesn’t make you happy after all!
She had to have modeled Voldamort's character on what she saw in the mirror each day.
She’s so gross
wtf is she posting about? I don't get it
Someone who simply chooses not to hate, pretty much. That angers her greatly...
Oh no, not love, anything other than being loved for no reason. It’s surely a great reason to go out of your way to avoid someone with compassion.
Must be a British thing.
What? Loving others because... JKR does not represent the typical British attitude.
How bitter she has become!
She hates love…lol yeah we know she does, perhaps that detour would be off a cliff?
I’m so incredibly disappointed in her. Her books were so good. But now it seems everything she writes or says is embarrassing and disappointing. What a huge disappointment she is.
Not a fan of her books.
Her books literally endorsed slavery. I at one time loved them... I was a child with an undeveloped brain so I didn't understand a lot of the themes that were being pushed in the books.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but being made to go to Universal in FL a handful of years ago, I noticed all of the goblins working at the bank looked like they were supposed to be mocking Jewish people? EVERYTHING I noticed pointed to that, or I just overthink stupid shit.
And the writing is just... rough. People excuse it as "it's written for children!" but I think that shows a serious lack of respect for children's lit
Thank you! Finally! Someone else who sees this! I was infuriated when I read those books.
So sad a person who can write books that provide a respite from the stress of the world….and has a heart so full of hate. She clearly forgot whence she came.
As a fat kid her books didn't really give me any respite I might say...
Sorry for that. I was speaking more in the distracting side of things.
yeah a certain degree of cruelty was always apparent
Yeah to me there was no surprise when she finally revealed who she really was. I saw it in her books first.
This.
Or we misunderstood her writing, it wasn't about Harry Potter after all, it was her love story to Voldemort.
One of the greatest writers in Norway was a staunch Hitler-supporter. By some reason there is this assumption that being a great writer means being a great human being.
Nope. The books are seventh-rate trash and their entire premise is plagiarized. She came from hate, she lives in hate.
Every town thanks her for taking a detour away from their towns.
That makes two good reasons to put that sign up 🤷♀️
And everyone lived happily ever after.
What she means is that she’s both an idiot and a bigot.
Oh, and a chicken 💩!
